> clear email marketing sources like HubSpot and Exact Target. Why would those get bumped up?
Those servers send a very high volume of legitimate marketing email that is not spam. Those services do a lot of policing within their platform to prevent or discourage use of their servers for actual spam. So when someone does manage to get spam out through that service, it often gets past more filters downstream. Theoretically, Hubspot or Exact Target will get notifications and shut down those senders so Google trusts them, gives them some leeway and doesn't ban the servers outright.
- lunatuna 5y agoI'm not sure if it should be trusted or not. It is fully unsolicited and I have zero relationship with them and never gave my info explicitly. Seems pretty spammy. But what is much more interesting is Gmail is pushing the spam up by tagging it as important and it ends up at the top of my email list and not in the lower section of everything else. It should be in the spam folder with all the other junk, but out ranks internal JIRA tickets, daily sales report etc. Could there be an implicit or explicit incentive? Am I the spam detection?
